Re: It Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin: A Thread About Dating

Lawyer guy stopped texting me already. So much for that. He asked me some probing questions like "do you suffer from depression?" and I said yes, so maybe that disqualified me or something. I wasn't too invested in it anyway.

We all meet up each and every friday to discuss the most insane responses to our weird texts. It's really fun.

If you are stumped by any task due to not understanding terminology in this day and age, then you probably need more than just cooking lessons. As others have said, the internet is the most amazing tool for cooking and learning about cooking.

Cutter recommended the pre-boxed Hamburger Helper, but I'd push the Zatarain's boxes. They've got tons of flavor, are easy to make and give you big meals.

What I found works best for me, Amy, is to find one meal I really love and get great at it, then move on to the next meal. If it's something I really love, I don't mind having it a few times in a few weeks, and that allows me time to practice so that I can get better quickly and hone my techniques.

Well I mean, why the fuck does she do that? Have you said to her, "Honey, what the shit--I need more coffee than that in the morning, could you please [this much] coffee?" If she still refuses, she's being passive-aggressive. If you can't get your message across, you're a pussy.

So cologne-sprayed-letter-gift-card-$20 guy contacted my friend again yesterday The last time she heard from him, if we remember, was about a month after the birthday gift/letter (to which she did not respond) when he texted her a link to that sad Sam Smith break up song. Last night, he texted her a link to this poem:

The Song of Wandering Aengus
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

So I jumped on the Tinder bandwagon. Already 400% more successful than OKC. (But I only did OKC for like two weeks at most before I hated it.) To whoever said that there's more down to earth girls- well yeah, in my also very limited experience, I've met some pretty cool guys that I felt were really fun and grounded. Granted, they are either from out of town just visiting for work or very recent transplants. I am using it strictly for new adventure friends and perhaps fwb, but definitely not looking for a soul mate through a fucking phone app.

I thought it was you "cleverly" describing dates where you'd meet someone at a place that served coffee and bagels.

Though now I'm not sure which is worse. What does this dating site entail?

Everyday, you see only one match. That person also sees you. There is a very very brief profile and up to 4 pictures. You can either press "like" or "pass". If both parties "like" a temporary phone number is assigned for a few days on which you can text each other.
